How about that Darrell Armstrong? He's been a Washington Redskins fan since he was a kid, and after giving a holiday greeting to the hometown Dallas Mavericks' fans on Sunday, he finished it with "How about them Redskins?" He was peppered with boos (although reports are that Dirk Nowitzki got a chuckle out of it) and then hit with a $1000 fine from coach Avery Johnson that will go to a Dallas charity. Mark Cuban didn't seem to appreciate it, but you have to admire the guy's loyalty.

any maverick that can piss off the whole stadium of mavs fans is a likeable mav in my books.

(for those who didn't know, the redskins beat the dallas cowboys on sunday, putting a dent in the cowgirls playoff hopes)

Why would you get fined for that? If it was not going to charity, I bet he would appeal and win the appeal.

I saw the clip on TV about how he finished with a huge smile and said, "How 'bout them Redskins!?!?" Hilarious!

As a Redskins/Rockets fan, I must say, Darrell Armstrong is a very likable guy

i'm a cowboys fan so it's a good reason for me to hate the mavs and him more. but seriously, why in the hell would he do that? you're IN dallas smart guy, where pretty much the entire city and area are COWBOYS fans....way to get the fans to like you. i bet he gets booed everytime he sees the floor, which isn't a whole hell of a lot.

Hey Parlett. SpiritKnight from D-B.com here.

It was a good hearted fine. I don't think Cuban or AJ was offended in any way since they were laughing at the huddle afterwards. The Cowboys get to decide which charity it goes to, though

Everybody was having a good laugh at Darrell Armstrong's expense on Monday. Even Darrell Armstrong.

The backup point guard had poked a little fun at the Cowboys and Dallas fans on Sunday night when, after Washington had trounced the Cowboys, 35-7, Armstrong addressed the crowd at American Airlines Center with a Christmas wish and finished by saying, "and how about those Redskins?"

A smattering of boos was mixed with laughter as most people took the diehard Redskins fan's comments with a grain of salt.

On Monday, teammates were often yelling, "how about those Redskins?" at Armstrong during and after practice.

But Armstrong said he has no hard feelings for getting fined $1,000 by the club for his comment.

"I know Bill Parcells is madder at his players than the fans are mad at me," Armstrong said. "The looks he was giving his players – if looks could kill, I declare he would have killed a couple people yesterday."

Armstrong also said he was willing to help the Cowboys.

"I don't know what's wrong with your punters and kickers around here," he said. "I'm the best kicker in Dallas. If Bill Parcells is looking for a field-goal kicker, tell him to come on down the way."

Armstrong, who was a kicker at Division II Fayetteville State, lists former Redskins kicker Mark Moseley as his favorite football player. After volunteering to kick for Parcells, Armstrong recanted.

"That's in my will," he said. "I can't play for them. I'm sorry."
